There's one story available now called "Take You Home", and I think it's ok lol I am my worst critic. You can either read it on Wattpad, Tumblr, or Ko-fi.

I saw an article from Vox, which I couldn't finish reading w/o a subscription, about something similar. So, I found another. What is this world coming to?

It works. I add everyone manually to avoid bots, white people, and people who don’t belong. You should see your posts there now ✌🏽

I need to work on this short story and blog post, but I really don't feel like it. Also, it's almost 10pm, so I'm gonna have to take my ass to bed soon anyways. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Toni D @heyitsmetonid.bsky.social · 15d

I'm definitely not

Toni D @heyitsmetonid.bsky.social · 18d

These are just a few. Hopefully, these prompts give you some motivation to write. Also, if you feel inclined, share what you've written. Totally not necessary, though!

It's officially fall, my favorite season. Yay! Monday & Wednesday, I shared some writing prompts to welcome the season:

➡️ Are you happy fall is here? Why or why not?
➡️ Describe Autumn in your corner of the world.
➡️ “Fall is just around the corner! Yay!” “Boo!” “Huh?!”

I wish more people would embrace a full on sulk to get it out of the system; instead of trying to positive vibes & uwu a bad day out of someone.

Let people stew in their bad feelings sometimes. Especially if they just need bad feelings hour to move past it (eventually).

Reading and sipping on this Pinot noir during happy hour. I don’t feel like working, but I’ve got to get this blog post published. Wish me luck!

Otherwise, you can wait for Wednesday to roll around and visit the Smudged Ink! community to get all the good stuff. ✌🏽I'll post a few prompts here, too, if I remember.

I usually publish writing prompts every Wednesday for Writer's Wednesday. However, in case there's anyone that can't wait that long, I do publish them 2 days early on my Ko-fi for free. I have a ton of other prompts there as well as some artwork.

I updated my bookshelf as much as I possibly could, but I am missing a couple of the links for two of the designs, so I may just create another post to replace those. I'm glad I made the move, though. My Carrd looks more official with a custom domain now.

Toni D @heyitsmetonid.bsky.social · 25d

It's official! heyitsmetonid.com has been moved to my Carrd account and is no longer associated with my Tumblr account. Yay! However, once I did this, my links in my bookshelf were all over the place. 😭

I read @itsafronomics.bsky.social new book “The Double Tax” this afternoon. It’s engaging and one of the best popular ways to bring social science to the public and policy that I’ve read in a long while. Black women are uniquely disadvantaged in our economy. 😍 she gave Janelle James her flowers!

This book started out boring, but it’s gotten much better.

I can't focus on shit. Time to doodle until either the motivation magically appears or it's time for bed. 😆
